Simulation Research of UAANET Based on BATMAN-ADV Routing Protocol

Abstract

As a new type of mobile ad hoc network, UAANET (UAV Ad Hoc Network) provides a communication foundation for the realization of the ability of UAV swarm such as high coordination and intelligent control. However, the research on routing protocols is severely challenged by the characteristics of UAANET such as high-speed mobility and dynamic topology. The simulation research on the applicability of routing protocols for UAANET scene provides reference and guidance for solving related problems, which is of great significance. In this paper, the BATMNAN-ADV (Better Approach To Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking Advanced) simulation model is established based on the OPNET simulation tool, and simulation research is carried out for the scene of UAANET. The simulation results show that, compared with OLSR and AODV, BATMAN-ADV is more suitable for application in large-scale, high-dynamic, and high-load UAANET scenes.
